Audio/Visual/Video/Communications Firm Profile We develop cutting-edge solutions targeted to our clients’ needs and strive to design state-of-the-art systems that keep pace with evolving technology. Audio v Visual v Video v Acoustics Signage v Conferencing v Virtual Meetings v Events v Performance v Digital v Fiber v Wireless
Enterprise Wide Communication Solutions PSE’s principle objective is to become a partner in the development of enterprise level sound, video, lighting, and performance venue designs for corporate, educational, conference, and agency environments to strategize on technology while collaborating on its implementation. PSE skill sets include acoustical, A/V, and digital media distribution consultants, and engineers. Our staff includes certified network design engineers and architects, secure cyber protection certification level individuals, data center design architects, RF/fiber/UTP infrastructure and communications engineers. We provide end-to-end project management while trained staff includes experts in acoustics, noise and vibration control, displays/monitors/scanning systems, sound and program reproduction systems, digital intercom, and analog systems. While PSE’s event space planning includes digital sound, lighting, and rigging design needed for professional quality stage and performing arts venues.
Converging Technologies The convergence of these technologies requires a firm with a wide diversity of talent, as well as a deep level of experience to provide targeted specifications, reports, contract documents, and studies to create a sustainable A/V and communications platform across all corporate, education, and agency levels.
Expanding A/V Communication Environments The expanding A/V communication environment needs to be continuously addressed. The continuous uprooting of bandwidth by networks and higher technologies on platforms as diverse as SVSI, UVB, Dante, IPTV, and newer communication protocols and methods requires meeting a challenge that is a moving target. Centralizing your consulting and design capabilities by deploying PSE’s technical and project management staff provides cost efficiencies and tangible benefits directly to the bottom line.

The A/V system design for classrooms consisted of interactive projectors with options for analog or digital inputs as well as mobile device sharing. Each room was equipped with an all-in-one A/V control and switching system to make operation by instructor or students as easy as possible. Some of the lab spaces included video streaming and recording for presenting lectures outside of the classroom space. Several Smart classrooms are designed with multiple A/V “Hubs” where several small groups of students worked together at separate desks. Each desk had its own A/V set up, and content from any desk could be shared or broadcasted to an individual or all other desks. Conference rooms were provided with audio and video conferencing capabilities. Multiple collaboration spaces are located throughout the open spaces within the buildings with touchscreen displays and content sharing. A TED presentation space was provided for students to give important presentations to a larger sized audience. The A/V design of this space mimicked that of a small auditorium; complete with sound reproduction and large format video projection. The control system was design to allow pre-programmed settings for easy turn on and go presentations, but also allow for more advanced audio control for signal processing and mixing, if needed for outside presenters.

National Museum of American Jewish History
Technology Integration Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
The National Museum of American Jewish History is located on historic Independence Mall. The new building represents a history of the Jewish people, from those who gave the early colonialists financing to continue the Revolutionary War, such as Robert Morris, to today’s successful Jewry in America. Its five story 100,000 SF design will be as remarkable as the data/ voice/video capabilities of the site to manage both historic content and museum transactions.
The National Museum of American Jewish History is located in Philadelphia’s Historic District on Independence Mall. Seeking expertise in integration of data, voice, and video in a secure expansive environment, Professional Systems Engineering (PSE) was selected to design all networks and remote services for wired and wireless networks, conferencing capabilities, exhibit data support for both high speed and wireless networks, and tele/data/video services. PSE was chosen to design and deploy technology for this special mission to herald the assimilation of Jewry into the United States. PSE’s first task was to provide an assessment of existing networks, connectivity issues, information technologies transition to the new site, and recommend unified digital electronic communication platforms.

Fiber Backbone Survey and Assessment Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
This project is a prime example of two key services provided by PSE: large survey management and data cataloging.
Professional Systems Engineering, LLC performed an intensive field survey of the existing fiber communications plant to determine media runs, termination conditions, port availability, and an accurate representation of the current use of their backbone. A large library of photos, field notes, and equipment sketches have been compiled and in turn, converted into a cloud-based Infrastructure Management software. PSE provided a well-designed system resulting in enhanced reliability, increased productivity, and full understanding of availability in their fiber backbone to future contractors, designers, IT personnel, and future integrators. This project is a prime example of two key services provided by PSE. First is our ability to organize our survey efforts. The project involved 107 network rooms, 199 equipment racks, and 542 fiber panels. The full Site was completed in about two months. PSE reviewed the scope of work then developed a detailed survey process that efficiently captured not only the required fiber information but also provided a clear picture of the existing condition of each network room. The level of detail collected helped to eliminate and resolve many questions and issues during the later phases of the project. The second key service is creating a usable catalog from the data collected. The survey collected 50 GB of photos, port catalogs, rack layouts, and other information which needed to be cross referenced, verified, and ingested into the clients Infrastructure Management software platform. The task required an keen understanding of both the data collected but also the systems underlining database structure to create a processes and new standards that best facilitate both initial data entry and ensure the longer term reliability of the Infrastructure Management system.

USAID Headquarters at the Ronald Reagan Building Fire Alarm & Protection, Security, Communications & A/V Washington, DC
PSE provided a design to incorporate lessons learned from Phase I of this project. PSE prepared separate bid documentation for the office space and Ops Center with coordination between the spaces. All documents included demo and phasing information.
Professional Systems Engineering, LLC provided design services for fire alarm, sprinkler, security, tele/data communications, audio/visual, and sound masking design services for this project for the International Communications Command and Control Center as well as Mobility Design Lab Phase 2 project. The project included the renovation of approximately 40,000 SF on the 7th floor of the Ronald Reagan Building which required both demolition and new construction plans. In addition to user workstations, collaboration space, and conference rooms, the project also included secure network rooms, SCIF spaces, and a new USAID Operations Center to monitor, provide situational awareness, and rescue coordination in spontaneous international events. The renovations allow for a more flexible modern office work space that supports mobile users, yet allows for secure work spaces required by USAID’s various departments in addition to the entirely new operations command center.
